Do you think the UNSC and the Covenant Seperatists (Elites, Grunts, and Hunters) will form an alliance in H3 much the same way they did at the end of H2? Speculate or vote please.

I am...whimsical today.

Difficult to say, we still don't know (at least I don't) the real motive behind the War between the Humans and Covonant. That motive could still be strong, and would get in the way of cooperation.

No one in the Covenant knows the truth about the Human/Covenant War except the High Council which is only Prophets.

It would be exciting to see an alliance between human and Covenant, which we've seen at the end of Halo 2, but it would probably be between the rebelling Covenant that got thrown out by Truth, and is following the Arbiter, like the Major Elite and his troop.
But certainly, only Johnson, Miranda Keyes, and the Arbiter are the only ones that are allies between Covenant forces led by the Arbiter.

"Not really. They eat their wounded."
"Just like chiropractors!" Caboose - funny -blam!-

"If god is love, then you can call me cupid" Sarge.

Whispering marine - "you'll give away our position!"
sarge - "I'll do as i damn well please!" (kills grunt with sniper rifle)
elites rule, MCs r cool

That just means they would turn on you at first oppurtunity. stray bullet or grenade = betrayal. but im sure the grunts will have lots to say to chief and the marines if they do join forces.

"Uhh, Master is my friend... Precious Yea... Uh. Oops. Me say wrong movie."

How funny would the grunts be?!?

By the way, the Human/Covenant Separatist Alliance is already formed because the Arbiter and his soldiers know the tru7h about the Halos, they need to get more followers if they are going to be of any help.

Of course not.

The Arbiter's alliace with Miranda and Johnson was under extraordiary circumstances. This was a situation where they-and all life in that section of the galaxy- would go poof within literally minutes if they didn't unite. The alliance probably won't last all that long after they get off the ring and away form the Flood. Possibly even before

Now, I'm not saying that the Arbiter is immediately going to turn on Johnson and Keyes- far from it. However, the Arbiter (and the rest of the Cvenant) has had anti-human propoganda drilled into them for thirty+ years, from all sides. Such strong indocteration doesn't go away in a flash. Even if some Elites reluctantly (and it will be reluctant), a very large amount- especially the younger elites, who have grown up never knowing any other existance than campaign against the humans- will take an "over-my-dead-body" aproach, and may even feel that they had somehow displeased the Prophets and Gods. Instead of seeing the exchange of hats as a simple coup/power struggle, they will think that they have fallen out of favor and deserve to die.

Note that none of the cannon fodder that "assists" you in the fight against Tartarus are of a low rank. They are all Councilors or Gold elites, with the occasional Spec Ops. This is because the senior elites, if their life spans are anything like human's, are old enough to have grown up in a time before contact with humans, and, based of the number of species in the Covenant's parthenon, when assimilation was the name of the game. Because of this, they were able to swollow an alliance with the humans, where young elites might balk.

I doubt it'll be like this on the first level
*MC meets arbiter*
"hi, you tried to hunt me down and kill me back on halo 04, lets be friends"
i know im exaggerating but i think it will develop as the story goes on, with a full alliance in a huge battle at the end.

I REALLY hope they do. They could share technology & have kickin' alien-human armor, vehicles, and weps.

Possible, but I would prefer to fight Elites still, Brutes just don't feel the same, and no-one ever liked Jackals
